One bright day in the middle of the zoo,
the animals came out to do what animals do,
The monkeys were chasing baboons,
The giraffes were acting like buffoons!
And hippo was jumping the moon!
There was ever so much hullabaloo,
From all the animals all over the zoo!
One bright day in the middle of the zoo,
One bright day in the middle of the zoo
The tiger was planning a coup,
He thought no one would notice in all the clatter,
That he’d become king, as if THAT really mattered!
For king lion did almost nothing at all
and made it look like he was having a ball!
The king did nothing, at least not at this zoo!
If you were the king wouldn’t you do nothing too?
He’d lie around till breakfast,
Then lie around till lunch,
By dinner he still hadn’t moved,…. at least not a bunch!
But he was a clever old beast!
He hadn’t worried in the least!
It wasn’t for naught that he was the king,
and spent his days doing nothing.
At least that’s how it seemed……….
One bright day in the middle of the zoo.
The lion being king, knew all about the coup,
He’d been told by his friend parrot he knew,
Who was told by a tiny screw that lived
Down the lane where the tiger’s do!
She’d heard tiger tell all the friends that he knew
That he wanted to be king of this crazy zoo!
He wanted to live in the lion’s den which was the best of all!
It gets lots of sun even in the fall!
And all the people walk by and are happy to see
The lion being as lazy as can be!
One bright day in the middle of the zoo.
“Why I’d give them a show!”
“You never know!”
“I might be discovered and off I’d go!”
“Instead of a sleepy old lion they’d really get to see,”
“What a tiger can do and what a great king I could be!”
But when tiger attacked, he was quickly turned back
Because the lion had sent for the loon!
The loon made a sound that would frighten the moon,
and the tiger practically swooned!
Tiger decided this was way too much!
To be frightened by all of this nonsense and such!
“If king lion won’t fight fair, and face me in the square,”
“There’s really not much I can do!”
“Not on this bright day in the middle of the zoo!”
“These things don’t happen at my zoo” “That’s just not what animals do”
“No! no! no! there just is no way!”
“Why I went to the zoo, just the other day”
“The monkeys eat bananas and so love to play.”
“The giraffe’s stand so graceful and tall,”
“And eat hay from a basket, but that’s not all……”
“The hippo is WAY TOO heavy to jump anything at all!”
“The tiger would rather sleep, than roar out a call,”
“And the lion cares about nothing at all!”
“It’s never happened at my zoo”,
“At least I’ve never known it to be true,”
These things can’t happen, they can’t happen to you!
One bright day in the middle of the zoo,
But as I was leaving, I saw a bear passing by,
he was roller skating and carrying a pie!
He smiled and waved and said “this is what we do”
“One bright day in the middle of our zoo.”
Now you might think this a magic zoo!
And you might be right! It is all up to you.
Use your imagination and you can too……
Decide what all the animals would do,
One bright day in the middle of YOUR zoo
